Dialup disconnecting.

My dialup connection drops out after I send a mail via outlook. This only happens when I am just running outlook alone, can plse assist.

You might want to check your settings to see if it is set to disconnect when the mail is sent. I think some mail porviders can do that.

If it's Outlook 2003, you go to Tools ~> Options ~> Mail Setup and uncheck the box that says "Hang up when finished with a manual send/receive".

If it's Outlook Express, go to Tools ~> Options ~> Connection and uncheck "Hang up after sending and receiving".

Other versions of Outlook are pretty much the same.

Thought that was the case but was already unchecked.
Have reinstalled outlook and seems to be ok now...
Thanks
